Guys, I am in the process of doing something extremely unordothox. I own a set of newly acquired JE pistons with Swain Tech coatings. As most of you already know, my car is already turbocharged. I am getting ready to build a spare long block for strip use. Before anyone cringes and laughs in disbelief, I've got a plan and I hope to stick to it. I am simply trying to go where few, if any, have. High compression AND boost!
I will be utilizing a TO4X turbo with either a modified cast iron Pulsar manifold or the Protech equal length unit. The exact compression ratio is 10.4:1 and I plan on running with no more than 24-25psi of boost.
I have 72lb injectors and will have the appropiate ECU program from JWT. The block will have oil pistons squirters and be bored to 87mm. I also will have the water injection system on hand to control detonation along with an air to water intercooler. I have my Intake Manifold for increased efficiency and power production. The head will be extrude honed and will have a 5 angle valve job.
Before you guys bash my intelligence quotient, I do realize that there is a limitation of how much boost I can run with the higher compression. I also realize that there are chances of detonation. What I'm counting on are all of the detonation controlling measures to work extremely well and produce 550+ at the wheels.
If I don't go through with it, I'll have a set of sweet pistons for a NA or NOS car.
